Add FTP users in cPanel hosting

By creating additional FTP users, you can give other people FTP access to your hosting so they can also upload files or manage your site. You can limit what these users can have access to, and how much they can upload.

In the Files section of cPanel, click FTP Accounts.

Log in to your GoDaddy account.

Click Web Hosting.

Next to the cPanel account you want to use, click Manage.

Click cPanel Admin.

In the Add FTP Account section, complete the following fields, and then click Create FTP Account:

Field

What it means

Log In

The first part of your username. The full username includes @[your account's primary domain name]. So if your primary domain is coolexample.com, and you enter ftpuser, then the full username for FTP will be ftpuser@coolexample.com.

Password

The password for this FTP user.

Directory

The directory the user can access. If you want to give the user access to the entire account, enter nothing but a forward slash (/).

Quota

The amount of space (in MB) the user can upload to that directory. If you do not want to limit this user, you can select Unlimited.1
